SIPs for Residential and Commercial Construction Projects

Residential Projects

At Korwall Industries we say that Structural Insulated Panels are the future of residential construction. Well the future is now.

Korwall Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) are a step above conventional framing with the cost of SIPS being identical to stick framing. SIPS are 3 to 5 time stronger that stick framing. Korwall has built over 200 residences in the Gulf Coast region of Texas and Louisiana and have not lost a single structure due to Hurricanes or tornadoes.

Dooley residence is designed with SIP Walls and Roof. The Dooley’s decided to use SIPs for their house for the extraordinary sheer rating being designed in a 110-120 mph wind zone. This home is also 12’-0 off the ground to combat storm surge. This home is LEED and Energy Star certified.

This 13,000 square foot single family home in Plano, Texas is designed to show off all of the Architectural techniques possible with SIP Construction. This home has Radius walls, elliptical windows, Barrel ceilings which goes to show that any design is possible with SIP Construction.

This home is hybrid of SIP Construction and Timber Frame Construction using the best of both technologies. Not only was Energy Efficiency and Sustainability part of the design process, the builder also used radiant heating in the floor.

Commercial Projects

Korwall SIPS are the choice of Commercial General Contractors and Architects the world over. Architects choose SIPS for the cost savings for their customers in energy effiecncy being 60% of stick-built structures. General contractors are choosing Korwall SIPS based on speed of construction and decreased jobsite waste saving their customers money and meeting increasing deadlines.

This project was done in collaboration with the US Department of the Interior and The US Fish and Wildlife Department. They chose SIP construction for the energy efficiency and sustainability of SIP construction.
